must have the flexibility to adjust to the specific circumstances of each fire, recognizing there may be circumstances when it is not in the best interest to extinguish a fire within 24 hours.
The Board of Supervisors is taking this challenge seriously, as evidenced by a recent update to the County Strategic Plan, specifically the addition of a theme of leading and facilitating the creation and maintenance of fire-adapted communities through the development of a countywide wildfire protection strategy. We have commissioned a Wildfire Resiliency and Vegetation Management Working Group and a Biomass Working Group to engage in this effort and established an Office of Wildfire Resiliency to bring stakeholders together, coordinate efforts and address policy issues.
Thank you again for your leadership in these efforts. The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors stands ready to work with your office on collaborative efforts for the betterment of everyone in El Dorado County.

RE: H.R. 6903—Wildfire Suppression Bill—SUPPORT
Dear Representatives McClintock and LaMalfa,
On behalf of the Placer County Board of Supervisors, I write to support your efforts to reduce catastrophic wildfires with your recently introduced bill H.R. 6903 “To requires the Secretary of Agriculture to carry out activities to suppress wildfires, and for other purposes.” With overgrown forest lands across the West stricken by drought, it is essential that we respond quickly to wildfires to prevent them from threatening lives, communities, and infrastructure in Placer County.
Your bill calls upon “all available resources to carry out wildfire suppression.” An example of this approach in action was the River Fire, which threatened the community of Colfax, California, in August of 2021. This fire destroyed 142 structures and parts of critical infrastructure but was prevented from destroying the entire Colfax community because of a well-resourced and responsive firefighting network. Placer County urges all necessary federal resources to be made available to the United States Forest Service, including funding, equipment, and staff to suppress wildfires in order protect communities and infrastructure.
Thank you both for your continued effort to make western forest management and rural community fire safety a highprofile issue in Congress. With your assistance, we are making significant progress towards community fire safety and forest thinning efforts in Placer County. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any help in further supporting your respective offices on this matter.
Sincerely,
COUNTY of PLACER
Cindy Gustafson, Chair (District 5)

Agenda Item Executive Summary
Joe Irvin, City Manager
Meeting Date: May 17, 2022
Agenda Item #: 15
Agenda Item: Modification to Fire Department Allocated Permanent Positions Executive Summary: With multiple long-term absences at the rank of Captain and Engineer, there is a growing need to promote the existing Firefighter on the promotional list to Engineer so the employee can begin their task-book requirements for both Engineer and Captain ranks. This promotion would be a benefit to the Fire Department with minimal cost and possibly a savings due to avoiding the cost of conducting a new promotional exam should the existing list expire prior to a promotion. It should be noted that the employee currently on the promotional list has been “acting” in the position of Engineer for over six months due to vacancies, so a promotion would only be a formality. This would essentially re-assign one Firefighter/Paramedic position to the position of Engineer keeping the total number of Full Time Employees (FTEs) the same.
Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Resolution approving changes to the Fire Department Allocated Permanent Positions, deleting one Firefighter/Paramedic and adding one Engineer Position.

City of South Lake Tahoe
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: May 17, 2022
Title: Modification to Fire Department Allocated Permanent Positions Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Jim Drennan, Acting Fire Chief (530) 542-6164 Background: The Fire Department has a total of 41 allotted positions. 1 Fire Chief, 1 Fire Marshal, 3 Battalion Chiefs, 9 Captains, 9 Engineers, 16 Firefighter/Paramedics, 1 Fire Inspector and 1 Executive Assistant to the Fire Chief.
To address operational needs the Fire Department is proposing to re-allocate one Firefighter/Paramedic to the Engineer rank.
Issue and Discussion: With multiple long-term absences at the rank of Captain and Engineer, there is a growing need to promote the existing Firefighter on the promotional list to Engineer so the employee can begin their task-book requirements for both Engineer and Captain ranks. This promotion would be a benefit to the Fire Department with minimal cost and possibly a savings due to avoiding the cost of conducting a new promotional exam should the existing list expire prior to a promotion. It should be noted that the employee currently on the promotional list has been “acting” in the position of Engineer for over six months due to vacancies, so a promotion would only be a formality. This would essentially re-assign one Firefighter/Paramedic position to the position of Engineer keeping the total number of Full Time Employees (FTEs) the same.
Financial Implications: The projected costs of promoting the current Firefighter on the Engineers’ promotional list would be $6,202.56 per year. For FY21/22 the projected pro-rated fiscal impacts would be $2,067.52. These projections exclude any overtime pay rates should the employee work voluntary overtime shifts in the rank of Engineer. Those costs however would be negligible in comparison to allowing the Engineers’ promotional list to expire and then putting on a new promotional exam to fill the position.
As an example, the last Engineers’ promotional exam required six members of the Fire Department on overtime and a representative from Human Resources to facilitate a day-long exam. Creating roughly 70-hours of overtime costs for the Fire Department. With the planned expiration of the existing list in August, promoting an individual now would avoid these costs if only one vacancy exists. Any additional vacancies will require a new promotional exam regardless. No additional vacancies are projected however this calendar year.

Council Agenda Report- May 17, 2022 Page 2 of 2
Environmental Considerations: This purchase is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) (continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies) Policy Implications: Both Management and Firefighter’s Union agree that this is a one-time exception. Once another vacancy occurs at the rank of Engineer (due to retirement) the allotment shall return to 9 Engineers and 16 Firefighter/Paramedics with Council approval. 817

Resolution 2022-XXX
Adopted by the City of South Lake Tahoe
City Council
May 17, 2022
Modifying Fire Department Allocated Permanent Positions
BACKGROUND
A. To address operational needs the Fire Department is proposing to re-allocate one Firefighter/Paramedic to the Engineer rank.
B. This is based on the fact that the Fire Department has had multiple long-term absences at the rank of Captain and Engineer requiring several employees to work out of grade for months at a time.
C. The Fire Department expects this to be a cost neutral change and could potentially save money by not having to invest in another promotional exam this fiscal year.
BASED ON THE FACTS SET FORTH IN THE BACKGROUND, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of South Lake Tahoe:
1. Approves the changes to the Allocated Permanent Positions (Exhibit A)
2. Authorizes the Acting Fire Chief and Assistant to the City Manager II to approve the reclassification and promotion of one Firefighter/Paramedic to the rank of Engineer.

Title: Approve preliminary costs to repair Fire Engine #3 Location: Fire Department
Responsible Staff Member: Jim Drennan, Acting Fire Chief (530) 542-6164 Background: On March 5, 2022 Engine 3 was returning to the station from a call for service.
While turning left from 3rd street onto Lake Tahoe Blvd another vehicle slid on the ice, driving through a red light, and struck the driver’s side of the Fire Engine. The driver of the car that struck Engine 3 was found at fault for the accident. The collision caused substantial damage to the cab assembly, pump panel assembly and the rear cabinetry.
Issue and Discussion: Motor Pool worked diligently to find a shop to do the work; however, in the end Pierce Manufacturing in Wisconsin was the only shop that would agree to make the needed repairs. The Fire Engine will need to be trailered to Wisconsin and will then go through an extensive overhaul to bring it back into service. The time frame has been estimated at 12 to 18 months and substantial cost. Through the process it was determined that the damage did not meet criteria to “total” the engine. Motor Pool is in receipt of a quote from Pierce to complete the work. A PO will need to be generated in order to encumber the funds which is why this is being brought to Council.
The driver of the vehicle is insured; however, his insurance is covering just $25,000. Motor Pool has been advised that the City’s Insurance carrier will cover the remaining costs. Staff is requesting that the money be encumbered for the sole purpose of moving the process forward with Pierce.
Financial Implications: The quote attached shows a total cost of $167,955, including $14,440 for transportation cost from and to South Lake Tahoe. Due to constant problems with supply chain and increasing costs of raw materials staff is requesting an additional approval of 15% above the quoted price to cover unexpected costs over the next 12 to 18 months. It should also be noted that Pierce has agreed to the above quote based solely on extensive pictures of the damage. They have not seen the damage in person yet. The total amount requested by staff to be encumbered is $193,148.00
Additionally, Fire Department and Motor Pool staff plan to inspect the completed repairs and will budget for expected travel next fiscal year through the Fire Department internal budgeting process.
Staff would also like to stress that the written quote notes the following in bold:
NOTE: This is an estimate and not a formal quotation due to the possibility of unknown hidden damage. Should actual work costs exceed this estimate, the purchaser shall be contacted for approval prior to work continuing. Actual (true), not estimated, costs shall be 824

reflected in the invoice. All estimates are valid for 60 days. Estimate does not include any special shipping charges unless otherwise noted, will be added to invoice. Purchase Order or written approval required on all orders. Net-30 days terms. Pick-up/delivery not included unless otherwise noted. All applicable Pierce structural and paint warranties will be reinstated.
Environmental Considerations: This purchase is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) (continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies) Policy Implications: No policy implications are expected at this time. 825

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: May 17, 2022
Title: Electric Vehicle Charger Siting Plan
Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Sara Letton, Sustainability Coordinator, (530) 542-6175 Background: A few years ago, the City of South Lake Tahoe created the Draft Electric Fleet Transition Plan for 2021 through 2026, in alignment with the state greenhouse gas emissions goals as well as the City’s emissions reductions goals. That Plan provides information on the current fleet composition and makes recommendations on the transition of the fleet to electric and alternative fuel vehicles by 2040, to the extent feasible. While the City has been considering its EV transition, our residents and visitors are increasingly driving electric vehicles and seeking convenient public charging options.
The Electric Vehicle Charger Siting Plan provides a vision for EV chargers for both City fleet vehicles as well as public EV chargers on city-owned property, providing a ‘programmatic’ approach to acquiring this infrastructure. This Plan also aligns with the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-In Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan and the Tahoe-Truckee PEV Siting Analysis, both created on behalf of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.
Issue and Discussion: Our local transportation sector in total accounted for approximately 32% of our 2015 baseline emissions. Reducing those transportation sector emissions contributes to our, and the state’s, overall greenhouse gas reduction goals. The City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) lays out strategies and actions to mitigate greenhouse gases, and CAP Strategy EV – 1 is to Promote and Incentivize EVs and EV Chargers. This Plan lays out a vision for providing nonpublic charging stations for City fleet vehicles at City facilities, as well as public charging at City-owned public facilities, parks, beaches and other high-use parking areas. This Plan will better equip city staff in attaining both grants and public-private partnership arrangements in the installation and maintenance of EV chargers for staff, residents, and visitors. Having an EV charging plan is also helpful to our electricity provider, Liberty Utilities, in understanding the goals of our city as they partner with us to upgrade necessary electrical infrastructure supporting charger installation.
According to our Climate Action Plan, the state relies on local governments “to implement strategies that affect the frequency or distance of vehicle travel, or the type of transportation mode used for travel.” In providing more public EV charging stations, the City is making conditions for EV ownership more favorable, leading to fewer greenhouse gases emitted when EVs are driven instead of gas fueled cars.
833
Council Agenda Report- May 17, 2022 Page 2 of 2
While EV charging is a step in the right direction for overall greenhouse gas reduction, it must be noted that not using a car at all is the most effective action. The City’s Strategic Priority 2.3 lays out a vision for “connectivity of the community for those on foot and bike, promoting a car free culture.” As public EV chargers are being installed, the City will include bike charging at those EV charger sites when and where appropriate and feasible in support of the car free culture priority.
Financial Implications: The estimated cost of each site installation was not specified as part of the EV Charger Siting Plan. The potential costs to the City are highly variable and depend on many factors, but significant outside funding opportunities exist and will be pursued by city staff.
Opportunities include private, state or federal grants/rebates, as well as engagement with private companies in partnership agreements for installation/maintenance/operation/financial processing (for user pay EV chargers). A very rough estimated range of potential total costs was included in the plan: an estimated $3,594,000 for all 114 EV chargers not including any rebates; and $2,165,460 if each site attained the average state rebate.
Environmental Considerations:Subject to exemption from CEQA under 15262, as a project involving only “feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the agency, board, or commission has not approved, adopted or funded”, and because this is a plan that does not have a legally binding effect on later activities.
Policy Implications:
This EV Siting Plan achieves progress on Climate Action Plan Strategy 3: Electric Vehicles – Increase the Use of EVs to Reduce Emissions from Passenger and Transit Vehicles, EV – 1 Promote and incentivize EVs and EV chargers, and supports EV – 2 Convert public agency fleets to EVs or alternative fuels by way of the action that notes “support efforts to install EV charging”.
The CAP estimates a greenhouse gas reduction of the full implementation of EV- 1 as 1,062 MTCO2e by 2045.
This plan also makes progress on the City’s Strategic Plan 2021 – 2026, Priority 1.5 in facilitating the “transition of fleet vehicles to electric and building robust EV charging infrastructure by 2025.” The City would seek to include free electric bike charging as an add-on to public EV chargers where feasible and appropriate, in accordance with the Strategic Priority 2.3, Action Item 2, “develop a plan to determine appropriate locations for bike repair stations, charging stations and bike racks and determine funding to support the installation of such infrastructure.” 834

Introduction
Background
The City of South Lake Tahoe’s (the City) 2018 greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory revealed On-Road Transportation to be the third largest source of community-wide emissions in South Lake Tahoe. On-Road Transportation accounted for 21.1% of the total community-wide emissions and emitted a total of 55,412 MTCO2e annually.
In 2020, the City adopted its first Climate Action Plan (CAP), which outlined a suite of strategies and actions across various sectors to reduce GHG emissions in South Lake Tahoe. The CAP specifically addresses the need for increased use of electric vehicles (EVs) in Strategy 3: Electric Vehicles (EVs) - Increase the Use of EVs to Reduce Emissions from Passenger and Transit Vehicles. Under Strategy 3, Action EV-1 states the intent to Promote and incentivize EVs and EV chargers. The CAP sets quantifiable goals for the number of nonresidential EV charging stations to be installed and the associated MTCO2e reductions (Table 1). 1 Table 1: GHG Reduction Summary for EV-1

# nonresidential EV charging stations installed 50 100 150 Additionally, the action items associated with Action EV-1 direct the City to consult and align with the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-in Electric Vehicles Readiness Plan. This plan states three overarching goals for the region.
Goal 1. Maximize the share of electric miles traveled in the Tahoe-Truckee Region to achieve sustainability and environmental improvement objectives, especially reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and criteria air pollutant emissions. 1Anderson, M. & Ruderman, S. (2020). City of South Lake Tahoe Climate Action Plan. Ascent Environmental & Sierra Nevada Alliance.
1 839
Goal 2. Make it easier and less expensive to install electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the Tahoe-Truckee Region and make charging accessible to a broad range of users.
Goal 3. Improve electric vehicle awareness among residents, second-home owners, and visitors to the Tahoe-Truckee Region.
In order to align with the above goals, the City of South Lake Tahoe has created the following EV Charger Siting Plan. For the purposes of this report, each site was assessed on a number of characteristics relating to ease and effectiveness of EV charging infrastructure:
● Location
● Charging Stations
● Site Overview
● Nearby Amenities
Overview and Context
In accordance with the aforementioned CAP strategies and GHG emissions reductions goals, the City created the following report evaluating eligible City-owned lots for future installment of EV chargers for public and nonpublic use. The site assessments for public and nonpublic EV charging stations in the City of South Lake Tahoe were completed in alignment with the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-In Electric Vehicle Siting Analysis Project. The following report includes some data and language taken directly from the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-In Electric Vehicle Siting Analysis Project and the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-in Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan.
The purpose of this report is to provide guidance to City staff during the motor pool transition to electric vehicles and the necessary charging infrastructure as the EV fleet grows. The report also intends to guide installation of public chargers on city land. It provides information for private sector EV charger businesses when considering a partnership with the city to install public access Type 2 and Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFCs). The following report will help guide the acquisition of funding for the EV chargers and fleet transition to EVs as a Capital Improvement Project commitment. The City’s efforts in providing public EV charging infrastructure supports CAP goals to promote and incentivize EVs and EV chargers leading to the reduction of GHG emissions from the transportation sector in the South Lake Tahoe community.

State of EV Charging
At present, there are approximately 42 public EV charging stations within the city.
These existing stations are marked on the maps produced for this report in order to illustrate existing gaps in EV charging corridors. Users can locate and identify types of chargers through platforms such as PlugShare and the Alternative Fuels Data Center. According to the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-In Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan, South Lake Tahoe is one of the sub-regions with the greatest number of plug-in electric vehicles. Furthermore, the Plan makes the point that:
“Almost three quarters of the total Tahoe-Truckee PEV ownership is composed of BEVs, predominantly due to high rates of regional Tesla vehicle ownership [and] Tesla vehicles represent 45 percent of all PEVs in the region; a trend that diverges from PEV ownership patterns in county areas outside the Tahoe-Truckee PEV Planning Area (Carson City, Douglas, El Dorado, Nevada, Placer, and Washoe) and the State of California both of which have Tesla vehicles making up 14 percent of their total PEV population” 2 .
Key Terms
Type 1 Chargers
Also referred to as ‘Level 1’ chargers. These are the slowest type of EV chargers. These plug into standard 120V outlets, and a full charge could take 24 hours. Manufacturers provide ‘L1’ charging cables as the ‘emergency’ cables, standard with purchase.
Range per hour of charging: 3-5 miles
Type 2 Chargers
Also referred to as ‘Level 2’ chargers. These are the most commonly available public chargers. These plug into 220-240V outlets, and a full charge takes about 8 hours.
Some providers offer this for free, while some are ‘user pay.’ Range per hour of charging: 10 – 30 miles
Type 3 Chargers
Also known as ‘DC’ or ‘DCFC’ (Direct Current Fast Charger) or ‘Level 3’ chargers, these are the fastest chargers available. They plug into 3-phase 480V outlets and are designed to provide an 80% charge in 20 - 40 minutes, 100% in 60 - 90 minutes.
Range per hour of charging: 60 – 150 miles

Cellular Reception: Cellular signal through AT&T, Verizon and T Mobile is sufficient to support wireless connectivity between the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations and the backend control systems at all sites assessed in this report.
Accessibility and ADA Compliance
As described in the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-In Electric Vehicle Siting Analysis 3 :
“The State of California Building Standards Commission §11B-228 and §11B-812 provide the design specifications for and requirements that a certain number of charging stations be designed and located so as to provide accessibility to all persons, regardless of their physical abilities. For the proposed design, including charging stations capable of providing power to 4 electric vehicles simultaneously, the site, if built, would be required to provide 1 van accessible charging space. The California Building Standards Commission §§11B-812.5 – 11B-812.7 provides instructions for designing EVCS so as to maximize their overall accessibility. Van or standard accessible charging stations must be located on an accessible route to an entrance of the facility, building, or pedestrian entrance to the parking area. Accessible charging stations must be served by a parking stall a minimum of 240 inches (6,096 mm) long and 144 inches (3,658 mm) wide for van accessible spaces or 108 inches (2,743 mm) wide for standard accessible spaces. Two spaces may share a common hatched-painted access aisle, a minimum of 60 inches (1,524 mm) wide, but a van accessible space must provide the access aisle on the passenger side of the vehicle. The access aisle must be painted with the words “NO PARKING” in letters a minimum of 12 inches (305 mm) visible from the vehicular path of travel.”
Permitting
As described in the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-In Electric Vehicle Siting Analysis:
“Permitting for installation of all Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in California has been streamlined to create an easy, cost-effective application process.
Permitting for the proposed Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at all sites in South Lake Tahoe is managed by the South Lake Tahoe Development Services Department. The proposed buildout will require a building permit as well as a signage permit for installation of trailblazer signage. These two permits are anticipated to be issued within 30 days of submitting the permit applications, complete with site plans and the applicable filing fee. Additionally, 3 DuMont, James. (2018). Tahoe-Truckee Plug-In Electric Vehicle Siting Analysis. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.

development, including the installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, within the Tahoe Basin that impacts the natural land coverage requires review by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the acquisition of development rights. Development rights necessary for a given project are calculated based on the Land Capability and the measured area of land coverage to be altered.
Developers lacking land coverage units to mitigate the development must acquire credits through the Transferring Development Rights (TDR) Exchange, operated by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. Generally, the process for conducting a transfer will take up to 30 days and includes the banking of land coverage credits by the transferor, submitting a Project Review application for the charging stations, and transferring the development rights to the developer of the charging station.”
Summary Table of Proposed Chargers
This report guides the installation of a total of 114 chargers on 19 unique City owned sites. Of the chargers recommended, 66 are to be installed for public use and 48 are to be installed for City fleet use. The volume and type of chargers presented in this report are consistent with both the CAP goals and with the City of South Lake Tahoe Electric Fleet Transition Plan 2021 - 2026. The total number, type, and intended use of the chargers presented in this report are outlined in the following table (Table 2).

EV Cost Considerations and Examples
The cost of EV charger installation varies greatly based on a number of factors. For example, the total cost of installing a public versus nonpublic Type 2 charger will be different, i.e. a public, user pay, charger will necessitate a computer interface for credit card payment that will need to be serviced by a third party. In this Plan, DCFCs (Type 3 chargers) will be installed exclusively as public user pay chargers. These provide a more expensive charge, but users are willing to pay for the convenience of the quickness of the charge. Additional examples, opportunities, and rebates are provided below.
Example costs of public user pay EV charger projects.
Appendix C of the 2017 Tahoe-Truckee PEV Siting Analysis provides a cost estimate breakdown for the 20 public, user pay sites averaging $146,432 per project. Here are some examples for these public, user pay, EV charger site development costs:
● El Dorado Beach Parking Lot (Referred to as Lakeview Commons in the Tahoe-Truckee PEV Siting Analysis Project) was evaluated for two dual Type 2 chargers and one dual DC fast charger. The costs included: $8,070 for engineering, $31,700 for construction, $18,800 for trenching, $40,000 for the charging equipment, $46,995 for electrical work upgrades, and $5,760 in miscellaneous costs for a $151,325 total project cost.
● The Crossing at Tahoe Valley proposed one dual and one single Type 2 charger, and one dual DC fast charger. The costs included: $8,070 for engineering, $31,700 for construction, $23,800 for trenching, $35,000 for the charging equipment, and $30,900 for electrical work, and $5,760 in miscellaneous costs for a $135,230 total project cost.
Rough Order of Magnitude Costs, with and without state rebates.
Based on the map locations and quantities of chargers recommended in this plan, the Department of Public Works has provided the following rough estimated costs.
While state rebates are available, it must be noted that not all projects receive a rebate due mainly to the fund not being sufficient to support all of the projects statewide each year. Therefore, it must be considered in cost calculations that a rebate is not guaranteed. Below are the cost estimates for the EV Charger Siting Plan both with and without rebates
4 , and assumes a rough average cost of $17,000 for
Type 2 chargers and $50,000 for DCFCs (Table 3).

*assuming rebate covers only the construction and installation portion of work Private partnerships may contribute.
There are private companies that will read this Plan and see opportunity for a public-private partnership to install public, user pay, EV chargers on city-owned properties. Such a partnership may include the private entity paying for the full cost of installation of user pay charging facilities as part of a negotiated lease with the City.
Low Carbon Fuel Standards Program offsets the cost of charging. “The Low Carbon Fuel Standards Program is designed to decrease the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuel pool and provide an increasing range of low-carbon and renewable alternatives, which reduce petroleum dependency and achieve air quality benefits.”
5 There are private companies who have built business
models around helping private and public entities take advantage of LCFS programs.
Those companies manage the incentives (submitting reports and generating the carbon credits) on behalf of the owner of an EV charger. They take a cut and send a payment to the owner of the chargers every quarter. The more charging, the higher the payment.
Project costs will vary.
As previously discussed, there are a number of factors considered in the overall charger installation cost at each site. While front of meter costs should be borne by the utility provider, back of meter costs must be considered in the cost calculation for each site. These costs include, but are not limited to, meter set, charger and infrastructure, ADA compliance, grading and paving, lighting, and signage. The long-term service contract with a pay provider should be considered in cost 5 Low Carbon Fuel Standard,
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/low-carbon-fuel-standard 8 846
calculations as well. Installing EV chargers in existing infrastructure, as in the case of the City Parking garage, will be more expensive than installing on the edge of a parking lot where trenching can be done on bare ground. Additionally, DCFCs may require the replacement of a transformer which adds substantial cost.
Revenue possibilities exist.
For public user pay EV charging, City Council will need to determine the rate. Council can decide on revenue neutrality or to establish a rate that is higher in order to bring in revenue.

Conclusions
The City of South Lake Tahoe’s Climate Action Plan (2020) lays out a metric to install 50 non residential EV charging stations by 2030, 100 by 2040 and 150 by 2045. This is a proxy for targeted reductions in GHG emissions. This plan guides the installation of 66 publicly available charging stations and 48 city fleet vehicle charging stations, for a total of 114 EV Chargers. This EV Charging Plan also aligns with the City of South Lake Tahoe Electric Fleet Transition Plan 2021 - 2026:
“A three year rollout for the light‐duty vehicles will allow the City and in particular, the Department of Public Works to incrementally study and plan for the supporting infrastructure needs associated with the EV purchase. Staff will focus on replacement and infrastructure work that requires the least impact to facilities and budget in year one. Staff will request the first year of budget appropriation at the annual budget discussions in August 2021 for a FY21/22 implementation.
During this three year interval, staff will monitor the development of medium duty EV platforms for viability and may amend the 5 year asset replacement list and roll out the plan accordingly if EV options for SUV’s and light duty trucks become viable.”
Staff recognize that the market for EVs is shifting quickly, influenced by many things–from the pace of technology development to international supply chain challenges. This Plan is intended to guide a long term vision for EV infrastructure and opportunities for public-private partnership and economies of scale during the EV fleet transition and installation of chargers for public use around the city. This is a total of 114 EV chargers mapped and visioned for installation well before the 2040 CAP goal. This plan will help guide Capital Improvements Projects for the City, and will serve as a tool to guide City staff in developing funding sources from state, federal, and private sources.
Throughout the EV infrastructure expansion process, the City should continuously consult the CAP, specifically Strategy 2: Education-Transportation (EDT) and Strategy 3: Electric Vehicles (EVs), for direction on action items that should be addressed alongside EV charger installation. These action items include, but are not limited to:
● Creating and promoting educational marketing materials regarding EVs, EV chargers, and utility rebates
● Providing incentives to large businesses to provide charging stations ● Ensuring that EV education and outreach is directed to both visitors and residents
28 866
● Giving the public opportunities to drive EVs
Additionally, the City should continue to consult the Tahoe-Truckee Plug-in Electric Vehicles Readiness Plan and the resources provided by TRPA on TahoeAlternativeFuels.com for guidance on outreach strategies, incentive and funding programs, regional barriers, and EV toolkits.
Additional locations on private property of DCFCs, as well as Type 2 chargers, will likely increase substantially during the timeframe of intended relevance of this Plan.
Websites such as PlugShare and the Alternative Fuels Data Center are commonly used and frequently updated with publicly available charging sites to provide context for the City and private entities as EV charging sites are considered for development.

Title: Public Works Department Annual Report 2021
Location: Public Works
Responsible Staff Member: Anush Nejad, Director of Public Works – (530) 542-6031 Background: This is the first annual report prepared by the Public Works Department, summarizing the Department’s accomplishments in 2021.
Issue and Discussion: 2021 was a year of change and transition for the Public Works Department. Ray Jarvis retired in 2021. However, the department was productive and addressed challenges posed by the restrictions from the COVID-19, Caldor fire, and record-breaking snowfall in December 2021. A significant number of departmental goals were accomplished which are outlined in the attached 2021 Annual Report.
Beginning in 2021/22, we are embarking on several initiatives including creating a Council SubCommittee for the Capital Improvement Program, focusing on Complete Streets development and design, and improving customer service.
Financial Implications: None
Environmental Considerations: Not a project. This is an annual report which is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEA) under CEQ Guiles section 15378 (b) (2) (Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment).
Policy Implications: This report serves as a benchmark for annual activities and goals. 873

The Public Works Department core services consist of
several Divisions: AdministraƟon, Engineering, Storm
Water Management, FaciliƟes, Streets/Snow, Fleet Services and Airport.
These operaƟng divisions provide core services in support of the City’s strategic iniƟaƟves, including: capital project implementaƟon, storm water management,
compliance with municipal storm water discharge
permit, roadway maintenance, snow removal, road
rehabilitaƟon, maintenance of faciliƟes, preservaƟon of City faciliƟes, provision of safe public spaces, and fleet services supporƟng City operaƟons. These services support other Departments, including Police, Fire, Parks and RecreaƟon and Airport.
The Public Works Department is funded through mulƟple funding sources including the General Fund, Gas Taxes, State and Federal Grants, Assessment Districts, Permits and InspecƟon fee revenues. Grant funding over the last several years has helped to offset costs and reduce the Department’s general fund budget. While grants have significantly helped offset the cost of implemenƟng priority capital improvement projects, the Public Works Department is also focused on determining asset maintenance needs and evaluaƟng funding opƟons for infrastructure repair as a strategic priority.
